Anna Duferret: Medicine of the Senses, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Light, sound, vibration - terms that often sound like something from a wellness brochure, but are increasingly finding their way into serious modern medicine. From photobiomodulation, which stimulates cell processes with targeted wavelengths, to vibroacoustic techniques that relieve pain and relax muscles, to neurological music therapy that helps stroke patients walk again - this book guides you through a fascinating field between high-tech and neurobiology. It explains how sensory stimuli work in the brain and body, which clinical applications are already established, and which future technologies are emerging. It remains evidence-based, clear, and understandable throughout-while still allowing itself the occasional tongue-in-cheek image to make complex processes tangible. A book for anyone who wants to know how precisely controlled light, carefully composed sounds, and finely tuned frequencies are paving the way for 21st-century medicine. Bremen University Press has published over 5, 000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
